FFXIV has an endgame problem and it needs to be changed

[Iromi]

Yup, I agree OP. However these days we only seem to get community responses to fluff content, glamour and so forth.

They need to start by adding back the stats we had in 1.x, thought they were going to do that. :/

(sorry in advance for my bad english...)

many people gonna flame me ! But, if i recall properly in FF11 (oh no, not ff11 not again ...), there was the "dynamis", "sea", "sky" stuff,, that kinda forced people to play together in an organized way,
and when you got the chance to have something it was amazing !! (ex shadow ring http://ffxiclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Shadow_Ring )
but that stuff was HOLY GOD DAMN HARD to get !!
and when you had those you felt really proud !

in my opinion that is what is missing in FF14, "unique" item, with real instance (im sorry but you cant even compare a "dynamis" with our actual 24 raid stuff)

yea, in FFXI we never had this problem. I don't understand...they seem to happily take things from other games, WoW, GW2, Rift, etc but not from their own successful game? By no means should they take the bad stuff (And XI had its fair share of stuff for real) but XI had a lot of good stuff they should look at and consider using.
